Help Topic - Add Method (Recipients Collection) Example

The line of code:

   Set myRecipient.Type = olCC

   myRecipient.Type = olCC

Help Topic - Recipients Collection Object

The two lines of code that read:

   Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add "Jon Grande"

   Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("Jon Grande")

Help Topic - Recipients Object

This topic has the same problem as "Recipients Collection Object" above.

Help Topic - CreateItemFromTemplate Method Example

The line of code:

   Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook Application")

   Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Help Topic - SentOnBehalfOfName Property

The Outlook Visual Basic Help file (Vbaoutl.hlp) incorrectly states that the SentOnBehalfOfName property is read-only.

When you use Microsoft Visual Basic Script with Outlook 97, you should use the SentOnBehalfOfName property to set the "From" field on a form.

For more information on setting a From field, please see the following article(s)in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Help Topic - NoteItem and ReportItem Objects

The NoteItem and ReportItem objects do not support any events, although the Help file has cross-references that imply they do.

Help Topic - CustomerID Property

This property is read-write, not read-only.
